Got an older Winchester 1300 I'm working on setting up. Have 3 subgauges that I'm shooting TSS in so wanted to set the 1300 up as a traditional lead setup. Bought some 3" #5 1 3/4 oz Longbeards. Just wondering what chokes you guys have had success with or would recommend as a starting point?

Thanks!

That gun loves the Carlsons LB choke. I have never liked 5"s out of my 1300's though. I have gone back to LB 4's and the carlsons choke. I have about 20 different chokes for that gun that I always tinker with. They also Like indian creek but my gun throws low right with my Ic and since I only hunt a bead I did not stay with it. Gun also likes jebs. This is not 1 gun. I have a bunch of 1300's.

What constriction in the Jebs gave you the best pattern?

If you're not dead set on shooting 5's one of my 1300's shoot LB 6's with a kicks .655 with excellent pattern

90% sure its a 660. I will pull it out and verify for you.
